I recently went on a trip to Darjeeling & Gangtok where i visited the flower garden. It was full of orchid flowers in every mesmerizing color combination one could possibpy imagine. Orchids are always in my list of loveables & this experience just increased my affinity towards those beautiful beings :)
This is just an initial experimental version & am hoping to do more of orchid paintings in the future :)
Please excuse this loooonng story of mine ;)

I made a rough sketch on scrap white paper & transferred the fair outline on to the watercolor paper(Brustro's)
I've followed the emboss resist technique to color this one.
I used Zig embossing pen (brush tip) to draw over the outline & heat embossed with Ranger white embossing powder.

Hi
Here's an altered art project i've done :) am using more embellishments for the first time & am absolutely loving the creation process :)

Preps:
Well wanna know how it all started?!

It's from this bottle which always attracted my attention for the interesting shape ;) am happy about recycling plastic this way :)

I coated the bottle with gesso. I've applied pearl green, sap green acrylic colors for the bg with brush followed by some misting with sap green+bronzer mixture..

I also added some vintage photo distress inks on the edges to give that antique look..
I've used black & metallic gold acylic colors for the cap..
I've filled the bottle with pebbles to add weight so that it doesn't fall off. (Original bottle is ultra light)

Embellishments:

I've used PP from time traveller collection & distressed it. Sentiment is from heidi swapp collection.

I've cut the clock image from the same PP collection, stuck it to a round glass cabochon & placed it on the metal frame setting.

Hi everyone. . There was a drastic issue with my web hosting site & my website got suspended for sometime..Though it is resolved temporarily am not sure about the future :(Am planning to back up the posts in blogger (I find it less user friendly than wordpress:( ).So all the sadness apart, Here is a bright card for a fresh start :)

One of my friends liked this card of mine so much. So I modified it a little bit & also personalised the cycle exactly like his own :)

I drew & cut cloud shape from ohp sheet & used it as stencil to make the bg. I've used salty ocean DI.I also cut out those mounds from green papers (computer paper & handmade paper)The cycle is a large one from wood veneer transport collection. Colored with inks as well as pens.added glossy accents over it.The banner was colored with watercolor pencils. Sentiment written with pen & stencil.Flowers were stamped, colored & fussy cut.I've stuck the layers with foam tape to add dimension.Here's the inside.
